I Am Beautiful, No Matter What You Say

I have completely overdone it in terms of getting some sun, and I look like a Chinese lantern. I guess that's quite festive, seeing as it's Chinese New Year.  Still, I need to take it easy for my last day: which is good as I do feel a bit passed myself.

Anyway, I have got a late checkout from the room, so about 1-ish, I check out and head into the main shopping drag, thankful that it’s cloudy and I am sort of hoping it will rain! No such luck, and it’s not long before the sun comes out, forcing me to duck into the nearest shop to get a hat. An overpriced hat, at that! I wish that I hadn’t looked in the mirror as I bought it: I looked completely horrible: bright red, dripping wet shiny red face, baggy puffy eyes! 

I am beautiful, no matter what you say..!

Still, I am never going to see any of these people again, so I wear my new hat with pride and walk about the town, making my way down Jalan Double Six to the beach, and then back along the beach to the hotel.
